This event is not organized or ran by the KGOP. OP-ED Written by a parent on the Education Expo Planning Committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last few years have caused many of us to re-evaluate our priorities. They\u2019ve also unearthed challenges in schools that have parents questioning whether their children\u2019s education matches their family\u2019s priorities and values. Many parents feel trapped because they don\u2019t believe they have options.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where we come in!<\/strong> On May 6, we\u2019ll be hosting the Second Annual Education Options Expo. This event exists to empower parents with the information and support they need to choose education that is a fit for their unique family. It’s like a (free!) farmers market for education info. Attendees can visit with all of the Exhibitors listed below to ask questions and gather information. They can also stop by our Solutions Center, where we’ll do our best to help parents overcome obstacles that keep them from making the education choice they’d prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Expo is being planned by a volunteer team of parents with combined experience in project management, event planning and education. Below you\u2019ll find a list of simple things you could do to make a big difference for our event<\/p>\n\n\n\n
